Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is ripping into former Vice President Joe Biden and the decision to keep a batch of his Senate records secret.
McDaniel made her remarks in a Friday tweet. She wrote: “Here’s the truth about Biden’s Senate records. They were donated to the University of Delaware a decade ago. For years, we were told they would be released by now. But now, Biden is saying we can’t see them. What is Biden hiding?”
Her comments came as Biden insisted, after releasing a statement denying claims made by former staffer Tara Reade that he sexually assaulted her in 1993, that he is “saying unequivocally it never happened, and it didn’t.”
Biden is facing calls to relinquish documents that could contain details regarding Reade’s sexual assault allegation against him.
Biden had given 1,875 boxes of “photographs, documents, videotapes and files” to the University of Delaware in 2012.
The university had first said it would make the records open to the public two years after Biden’s last day in elected public office.
But in April 2019, hours before Biden announced his bid for the White House, the school said the papers would not be released until either Dec. 31, 2019 or until two years after Biden “retires from public life,” whichever comes first.
